The University
of Stuttgart
The University of Stuttgart is one of the leading technically
oriented universities in Germany with global significance.
Located centrally in an economically strong region with
vast cultural integration, the University sees itself as a hub
of university-based, extramural and industrial research.
Furthermore, it takes a role as a guarantor of research-
based teaching, focused on quality and holism. The
University is dedicated to researching and strengthening
the interfaces between technology, society and culture in
an interdisciplinary manner, defined as the Stuttgart Way.
This means integration of engineering, natural sciences,
humanities and social sciences based on the fundamentals
of cutting-edge research at a disciplinary level.
The strong third party research funding received by the
University of Stuttgart leads to outstanding conditions
for research and teaching. Here researchers work with the
most modern equipment on large, future-oriented projects.
Students also profit from state-of-the-art equipment and
technology.

International Master’s Programs
Languages and Double Master’s
Languages
All international Master’s programs are taught – to
different extents – in international languages:
We distinguish between:
a) programs that can be studied completely in English
(knowledge of the German language may give
students the possibility to choose among a broader
range of subjects)
b) programs that are taught mainly in English and
partly in German, requiring a good command of the
German language (minimum C1, see page 30) and
c) programs that are taught in French and German.
Double Master‘s Programs (DM)
Students pursuing a DM will study in Stuttgart for two
semesters and an additional two at a partner university.
However, there is a difference between DM options
on the one hand, and DM study courses on the other.
DM Options
Most Double Master’s programs at the University of
Stuttgart are offered as an option within a single degree
Master’s program. This means that, once students are
admitted to the single degree Master’s program, they
can apply for the Double Master‘s option.
DM Study Courses
Contrarily, some Master’s programs are exclusively
offered as Double Master’s study courses. For those,
students apply directly.
After graduation, students receive one Master‘s
transcript and one certificate from each university.
The Joint Master‘s program Maschinenbau/Mechanical
For the DD Options,
Engineering is an exception. Here, students receive

International Master’s Programs
taught in English
Each of the Master’s Programs described on the
following pages can be studied in English. However,
we would like to mention one distinction:
Some of these English speaking programs are specially
designed for international students. You will find them
marked with an asterisk . This means that – in addition
to the general services offered by the International
Office – these courses offer specific support and/or leisure
activities to their students.
Depending on the course, this might include:
own buddy programs, alumni events with talks and/or
joint meals, newsletters, excursions, and, in some
cases, assistance in finding an industrial internship.
